Chapter 12, Problem 33SDP
Small amounts of slag and dross often persist after skimming, and are introduced into the molten metal flow in casting. Recognizing that slag and dross are less dense than the molten metal, design mold features that will remove small amounts of slag before the metal reaches the mold cavity.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of these factors causes more porosity to form toward the interior of a casting rather than toward the
outside?
(a) Gasses are less soluble in the solid metal than the liquid, so solidified areas push dissolved gasses
toward the interior.
(b) Casting under a vacuum causes gasses near the liquid metal surface to be drawn out of the liquid
during solidification.
(c) The feeding structures of the mold are designed to force entrapped air into the center of the casting.
(d) Draft on the mold wall forces air bubbles toward the interior of the solidifying metal.
(e) None of the above
Non-eutectic alloys (most commercial alloys) solidify over a temperature range. Which of the following
statements explains how this affects the casting process.
(a) Solidified non-eutectic alloys are especially difficult to remove from metal dies
(b) Non-eutectic alloys have significantly less fluidity than pure metals or eutectic alloys.
(c) Non-eutectic alloys solidify starting from the outside of the…
EX.3//A cylindrical riser must be designed for a sand-casting mold. The casting itself
is a steel rectangular plate with dimensions 7.5 cm x 12.5 cm x 2.0 cm. Previous
observations have indicated that the total solidification time (TTs) for this casting
=1.6 min. The cylinder for the riser will have a diameter-to-height ratio=1.0.
Determine the dimensions of the riser so that its TTS
= 2.0 min.
Why Venting holes and passageways must be built in die casting and not in sand
casting?
Why the cost of products reduce when increase the quantity?
Why the actual size and shape of the cavity must be slightly oversized the product?
